    New here...got a 71, V8 Grabber. I just put in power discs... I've seen manual discs before, but never power. They work great... any thing down the road I should be ready to look at? Did power discs come from the factory or was is only power drum? Thanks.

    You can find some info on brakes on that page, but power boosters were never offered with drum brakes. Non power - disc was optional in 74, Power disc was an option from 75 - 77.

    OK... now I know where the power booster came from...I have been gathering parts for about 2 years... a disc here, a pedal there... and finally I got everything...love the discs. Stopping is no longer an adventure.

    With the 351... did you notch, move the shock towers, or what?

    If you are referring to my Sprint. No towers are not notched. They are however beat flat with a BFH by the swap monkey who put the engine in the car :cool: This will be rectified when I go through the beast from top to bottom. It is still a tight fit which ever way you look at it though.
